Long term observations of the sun give a hint of g-modes...but it needs more work. SEE:http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1012/1012.0506v1.pdf

detection of g modes definitely needs more work....
these are difficult to detect because the g-modes are evanescent waves.
In the convective region there are insufficient restoring forces to drive these, the reason
is due to the very instability condition which enables convection.

The net result low amplitude waves at the limit of detection

The following is a good review (same authors)
